In these sad days
when it seems villains and fools
are running countries
almost everywhere
one thing is certain:
Any attempts to do
decent, good things for
women,
the environment,
children,
workers,
indigenous people,
public transport,
the Arts,
LGBTI people,
refugees,
public health,
universities,
communication,
public schools,
animals,
the poor,
will be met with
howls of outrage
from those villains and fools.
